Protects the blade surface against the effects of repeated glueing.

A new blade or racket comes from the factory without proper sealing. The sealing is important to increase the bond of the wood fibres. The sealing thus protect the blade surface from cracking. The repeated gluing without sealing can destroy the blade fast.

Instructions:

This specially developed blade sealing varnish is ideal protection against both the lifting/stripping of the upper veneers and absorption of glue and solvents. It is particularly suited for players who use speed glue before every training session or players who regularly change rubbers as this water based varnish offers the best protection for the blade surface.

Working steps:

• Clean the blade surface of any remnants of glue (best by using a thinner applied thinly using a cloth and then wipe off the surface).
  
• Rub the blade surface with sand paper (at least with a graining of 120 or finer), then carefully remove dust.
  
• Apply plenty of the blade sealing varnish evenly over the blade surface.
  Let dry for approx. 4 hours.
  
• For safe adhesion of the rubber slightly sand the blade's rim with abrasive paper.
  
• For safe and long-lasting protection the whole process should be repeated after complete drying (24 hours).
  
• If the varnish has dried up in the bottle after a longer period of time, dilute with approx. 10% water.

The varnish is almost free of harmful substances - however please follow precautionary measures:

• Use only for intended purpose!
• Keep away from children!
• Use in a well ventilated area during and after use!
• In case of contact with eyes or skin carefully rinse off with water!
• Do not permit escape into water courses or ground

A Complete Training Program In Only 55 Minutes

As a professional coach, I use my Newgy Robo Pong 2000 almost every day. I have found no more efficient teaching tool for introducing new stroke techniques to my students. In fact, many of my students have purchased a Robo Pong 2000 for home use. I have developed the following drill program to give my students a complete skills practice session in a short period of time. The program consists of eight drills. Allowing for a few minutes to reset the robot between drills and you can complete the whole program in only 55 minutes.

1. Serve Practice (5 minutes)

It may seem strange to you to start a training program off by practicing serves. However, there is no better way to warm-up your spin touch and hand skills. Simply practice your serves putting emphasis on making as much spin as possible as well as good placement.

2. Push Practice (5 minutes)

Set your robot to produce backspin and have it oscillate over the whole table. Practice your pushes with both backhand and forehand. Direct your returns to all areas of the table. Don’t forget to vary the spin of your returns and also make both short and long returns.

3. Loop Practice (10 minutes — 5 minutes with both FH and BH)

Set your robot for backspin and direct the ball to your backhand no oscillation. Using your forehand practice looping and direct your returns to all areas of the table. Start off by making high spin (slower) loops and progress to making faster loop drives. Repeat drill using your backhand

4. Mixed Loop and Push Practice (5 minutes)

Set your robot for backspin and have it oscillate over the whole table. Using both forehand and backhand, alternate loops with pushes. Remember to practice directing your returns over the whole table.

5. Counter Practice (10 minutes — 5 minutes with both FH and BH)

Set your robot to produce topspin and direct the ball to your forehand with no oscillation. Start off with short blocks and gradually lengthen your stoke to produce a counter drive. Finally, finish off with full kill shots. Once again, practice directing your returns to all parts of the table. Reset the robot to direct the ball to your backhand side and repeat the drill using only backhand.

6. Movement Drill (5 minutes)

Set your robot for topspin and have it oscillate over one half of the table. Use only forehand strokes and direct your returns to all parts of the table. Concentrate on using proper 2 step movement technique. Also, set the ball feed at a rate that puts you under pressure to move fast enough.

7. Pivot Drill (5 minutes)

This is also a movement drill. Set your robot for topspin and direct the ball to your wide backhand with no oscillation. This drill consists of making two backhand counters or loops and then pivoting and hitting one forehand from the backhand side (repeat). Both counters and loops strokes should be practiced and your returns should be directed to all areas of the table.

8. Serve Return Drill (5 minutes)

Set your robot to produce a short underspin serve, sidespin can also be added. Oscillate the serves over the whole table. Practice making random drops, flips and long pushes. Emphasis should be placed on making good placements. Try to keep your drops very short and cut the diagonal sidelines with your flips and long pushes.

At the conclusion of this drill program you will have practiced all the basic skills of the game. Of course your own individual style will determine which advanced skills you also need to train. Use this program several times a week and you will see a quick improvement in your overall game.
